The award-winning Formula 1® Exhibition will make its Asian debut in Singapore next month, opening to the public from 23rd July 2026 (Thursday) at the iconic Gardens by the Bay.

Following successful runs in Madrid, Vienna, Toronto, London, Oberhausen, Amsterdam, and Buenos Aires, more than 1.3 million visitors have taken a journey through the history of Formula 1 to date. Singapore will mark the 11th host city worldwide, and a first appearance in Asia.

Located at Gardens by the Bay, adjacent to Satay by the Bay and within walking distance of Gardens by the Bay MRT, the show will be open for a limited time, offering a new cultural and sporting attraction for Singapore residents and international visitors alike.

The immersive experience explores the past, present and future of Formula 1, celebrating the sport’s 76-year history through original storytelling, cutting-edge design and interactive technology. Visitors gain unprecedented insight into the innovation, engineering, personalities and defining moments that have shaped the FIA Formula One World Championship™.

A global city renowned for its innovation, architecture and world-class visitor experiences, Singapore sits at the intersection of sport, culture and technology. As the home of the F1’s first night race, the city provides a natural backdrop for the exhibition’s Asian debut.

A powerful highlight of the exhibition is Survival, featuring parts of Romain Grosjean’s HAAS car from his dramatic 2020 Bahrain crash as well as his gloves and boots, before The Pit Wall – a cinematic experience placing visitors at the heart of the action.

The journey culminates in Singapore Drive, a space dedicated to the significant contribution Singapore has made to Formula 1.

Starbucks Malaysia Just Dropped Protein Cold Foam, Your Iced Drinks Are About to Get a Glow Up!

It feels like everyone is talking about protein these days, and honestly it can get overwhelming trying to sneak it into your daily routine… but Starbucks has quietly given your regular iced coffee routine a major upgrade and yes it’s kinda a big deal. 

Starbucks Malaysia has introduced Protein Cold Foam, a creamy new topping designed to sit pretty on your favourite iced drinks while sneaking in a protein boost. It’s rolling out nationwide from 11 June – you could say that it’s basically your iced americano’s new gym buddy. 

Image Source: Starbucks Malaysia

Think of it as the same cold film you already know and love, levelled up. Each grande drink can now pack around 15g to 17g of protein, turning your casual coffee run or matcha break into something a little more pulled together.

 

Same Drink Just a Smoother Finish

Protein Cold Foam is made by blending whey protein with a low-fat dairy base, creating a smooth, velvety layer that sits on top of iced drinks without stealing the spotlight.  

Flavours include chocolate and vanilla, and it works across iced favourites like your caramel macchiato and matcha lattes. 

Ways to Experience Protein Cold Foam

Iced Chocolate Cream Protein Americano 

Bold espresso and Chocolate protein foam make this a slightly softer, creamier version of your usual caffeine hit, with a 15g to 17g protein boost quietly doing its thing in the background! 

Iced Vanilla Cream Protein Matcha & Iced Chocolate Cream Protein Americano

Iced Vanilla Cream Protein Matcha 

Earthy matcha meets vanilla foam for a smoother, almost dessert-like finish that still keeps the matcha personality intact. 

 

What’s the Deal With Protein?

Protein isn’t just a gym thing anymore. People are folding it into everyday food and drinks more than ever, and Malaysia’s sports nutrition market is expected to keep growing steadily though 2032 as wellness becomes more a daily habit than a passing trend. 

Instead of reinventing your routine, Starbucks is just making your usual order do more for you! 

Zahiah Hanim, Director of Marketing & Loyalty at Starbucks Malaysia affirms that it’s all about blending personalisation, flavour and function.

It’s still coffee. Still matcha. Still foam… but now, it’s protein too. And somehow that makes your daily pick me up feel just a bit more justified.

 

Protein Cold Foam is now available across Starbucks Outlets in Malaysia!

Father’s Day Gift Guide: 4 Supplements to Support Dad’s Health & Wellbeing

Father’s Day gifts don’t always have to be another tie, wallet, or coffee mug. For dads who prioritise their health—or those who could use a gentle nudge toward self-care—a thoughtfully chosen supplement can be a practical way to support their everyday wellbeing.

While supplements aren’t a replacement for a balanced diet, regular exercise, or routine medical care, certain nutrients may help support healthy ageing, energy levels, heart health, and overall vitality. Here are four supplements worth considering this Father’s Day.

PNW Production (Pexels)

 

For Dad’s health, energy, and overall wellbeing

Vitamin D

Blackmores Malaysia

Many adults spend a significant portion of their day indoors, whether at the office or working from home. Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting bone health, muscle function, and normal immune function.

Vitamin D is particularly useful for dads who don’t spend much time outdoors or who want to support healthy ageing.

Our pick: Blackmores Vitamin D3 1000 IU
Available at: Major pharmacies such as BIG Pharmacy and CARiNG Pharmacy, as well as online platforms such as Lazada and Shopee.

 

Magnesium

Herbs of Gold Malaysia

Magnesium supports muscle function, nerve health, and quality sleep. It has become increasingly popular among adults looking to support recovery, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.

Magnesium is great for active dads, gym-going dads, or those who occasionally struggle with rest and recovery.

Our pick: Herbs of Gold Magnesium 220mg
Available at: Major pharmacies such as CARiNG Pharmacy, as well as online platforms such as Lazada.

 

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Vitamode

Naturally produced by the body, CoQ10 plays a role in energy production within cells. Levels tend to decline with age, which is why many adults incorporate it into their wellness routines.

CoQ10 is often chosen by those looking to support energy levels and maintain an active lifestyle.

Our pick: Vitamode CoQ10 Ubiquinol 100mg
Available at: Major pharmacies such as BIG Pharmacy and CARiNG Pharmacy, as well as online platforms such as Lazada and Shopee.

 

Men’s Multivitamin

BIG Pharmacy

A quality multivitamin can help fill potential nutritional gaps and support overall wellbeing. Many formulas designed for men contain a blend of essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, zinc, and vitamin D, tailored to support energy production, immune function, and healthy ageing.

Men’s multivitamins are an easy, all-in-one addition to his daily routine that helps support overall health without requiring multiple supplements.

Our pick: Centrum Silver
Available at: Major pharmacies such as BIG Pharmacy and CARiNG Pharmacy, as well as online platforms such as Lazada and Shopee.

 

A Gift That Keeps Giving

The best Father’s Day gifts are often the ones that show you’ve thought about what matters most. While supplements aren’t a substitute for healthy habits, they can be a meaningful addition to Dad’s wellness routine and a reminder to prioritise his health throughout the year.

As always, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially for those with existing medical conditions or who are taking medication.

“X-Men ’97” Review (Episodes 1-4): Apocalypse Arrives And He’s Already Everything

When “X-Men ’97” wrapped its first season with one of the most emotionally devastating finales in recent animated memory, the question wasn’t whether a second season could be good. It was whether it could be this good again.

Four episodes in, we have our answer, and it comes in the form of a villain who has been waiting, quite literally, since the dawn of civilisation.

Season 2 picks up immediately where we left off. The X-Men are fractured and flung across time.

Marvel Animation's "X-Men 97"
Source: Marvel Animation

The show splits its attention across three threads — one following Rogue, Magneto, Charles, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Bishop, Forge, and Beast, stranded in the ancient past; another set in the far future, where Scott and Jean find themselves navigating the earliest chapters of a story fans will recognise; and a third back in the ’90s, where two teams are left to hold the line. X-Force — Cable, Jubilee, Sunspot, Psylocke, and Archangel — are operating on one front, while X-Factor, led by Havok and Polaris, bring their own corner of Marvel’s mutant mythology into the fold.

It’s a genuinely ambitious structural choice for an animated series to make this early in a season, and what’s remarkable is how confidently the show pulls it off. The Egyptian past carries a weight and mythic gravity befitting its setting. This is civilisation at its earliest, brutality at its most naked. The far future weaves in the show’s deeper emotional mythology around Scott and Jean. And the ’90s storyline moves fastest, leaning into action and moral urgency in ways that keep it from ever feeling like a placeholder between the more epic threads.

Now, we’ve got some X-traordinary nuggets in the mix here, and episode 2 is worth singling out because it’s a feature that belongs entirely to the X-Force. It even arrives with its own distinct creative energy and a bespoke opening credits sequence just for that episode. It’s a small but smart decision that signals Cable’s crew aren’t merely a subplot waiting for the main story to catch up with them. They have their own identity, their own stakes, and the show is committed to making that felt.

But let’s… address the ancient mutant god in the room.

The 2016 live-action version of Apocalypse left a wound that Marvel fans have been quietly nursing ever since. Because how is it that a villain of supposedly limitless power became a reduced hollow vessel that strangely felt weightless on screen. But “X-Men ’97” Season 2 is kind of that apology in that regard.

Marvel Animation's "X-Men 97"
Source: Marvel Animation

If you’ve watched the trailer for this season — or if you haven’t, the link’s at the bottom — it arrived with a “Godfather-esque” musical gravity. It’s this sweeping, operatic kind of score that promises something weighty and mythic. Sure, the show itself doesn’t quite replicate that exact register. After all, it’s still “X-Men ’97,” and it’s propulsive and emotionally kinetic rather than stately. Yet, En Sabah Nur’s portrayal gets closer to the weight that trailer was reaching for than anything this franchise has managed before.

Here, we meet Mr Nur at the pivot point. It’s the X-mark in time of the man who is about to become Apocalypse, but hasn’t yet. The show grounds him in the full weight of his origins. He’s abandoned at birth, found and raised by a ruthless nomadic warrior, forced into slavery, until the emergence of his powers allowed him to turn on his masters and take everything he’d been denied. Out of that crucible came a philosophy, as extreme as it was coherent, the survival of the fittest, the conviction that weakness is not merely an obstacle but an offence that deserves to be destroyed without mercy.

Marvel Animation's "X-Men 97"
Source: Marvel Animation

This is, crucially, faithful to the comics. What makes it work so well on screen is the combination of three things: real menace and physical threat in how he is written and voiced; genuine moral complexity, because a man forged in suffering and abandonment is harder to dismiss than a villain who simply wants power; and a mythic, ancient quality the character has always demanded but so rarely received. He feels, for the first time in a long time, like the right Apocalypse.

The dramatic tension the show wrings from this is quietly inspired. The past-set team is led by Magneto, who is no stranger to the idea that the world is shaped by those willing to impose their will upon it. And they arrive in ancient Egypt with a plan to reach En Sabah Nur before the philosophy fully calcifies. If they can change this first mutant, perhaps they can change the future. Perhaps they can rob Nur of the very moment he became the undefeatable Apocalypse.

Marvel Animation's "X-Men 97"
Source: Marvel Animation

It’s a fascinating premise that gives Magneto a genuine dramatic function rather than simply making him the senior X-Man in the room.

And yes, our plea is… If and when the live-action “X-Men” reboot eventually circles back to this character, PLEASE look to this as the template. Apocalypse deserves to be the Thanos of the X-Men, and treating him as the giant threat he is should be the only way.

But anyway, back to the show, so back in the ’90s, the ideological gap between the two teams was part of what made the present-day thread crackle. X-Factor, led by Havok (do they ever declare that he’s Cyclops’ bro in this continuity) and Polaris, operates as the government’s state-sponsored mutant task force: officially sanctioned, politically palatable, working within the system. X-Force are not. Cable and Archangel represent a more ruthless, off-the-books school of getting things done with an efficient, pragmatic, and openly contemptuous method of anything that slows them down.

Marvel Animation's "X-Men 97"
Source: Marvel Animation

The show is smart enough to put these two teams at odds at a certain point, and their conflict cuts to the heart of what the X-Men have always been about: what does mutant advocacy look like when the people who usually set the moral tone have vanished?

Jubilee is the driving emotional force through all of it as she is caught between both camps. She’s the most goody two-shoes, kinda like the Captain America bunch of the team. But ultimately, she’s asked to figure out where she stands.

Her sparks, it must be said, are genuinely beautiful this season: kinetic and bright, deployed with a visual flair that makes the chronic under-utilisation of the character in live-action feel even more baffling. There is a prison escape sequence that is exactly the kind of setpiece “X-Men ’97” excels at, with it being economical in its setup, joyful in its execution, and quietly character-defining later on.

Source: Marvel Animation

The animation remains as vibrant and stylistically assured as ever, but there are sequences this season that push into genuinely new territory. A scene involving Professor X navigating the psychic landscape of another mind is rendered as a vast, trippy temple space. It’s the kind of formally adventurous work that reminds you this show is operating with real artistic ambition beneath its nostalgic surface. Gorgeous and slightly unnerving in equal measure, which is exactly right.

And surely, episode 4 closes on a cliffhanger that reframes the emotional stakes for everything that follows. And it’s a gut-punch. Perhaps not quite as sombre as the Gambit one, but still…

Four episodes in, “X-Men ’97” Season 2 is exactly what it needed to be: a show that hasn’t forgotten what made its predecessor extraordinary, and is already thinking seriously about how to surpass it. The X-Men have faced worse odds. They’ve rarely faced a villain this good.

Watch the trailer here:

“X-Men 97” streams on Disney+ on 1 July 2026. Don’t miss it!

The Review

3.5 Score

"X-Men '97" Season 2 hits the ground running with three timelines, a genuinely storyline in the age of Apocalypse, and enough emotional stakes to remind you why this show matters. Four episodes in, it's everything season one promised it could do, and then some.

The Runway Meets Outer Space: Prada and Axiom Space Unveil the High-Tech Inner Core of the Artemis IV Lunar Suit

Known officially as the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment, this cutting-edge piece of engineering serves as the literal high-performance foundation worn directly against the body inside the main Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit suit. Designed explicitly for NASA’s historic Artemis IV mission, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface for the first time in more than fifty years, this drop moves the conversation away from basic styling into life-saving material science.

To combat the blistering four-hundred-degree temperature fluctuations at the lunar South Pole, the undergarment manages immense metabolic body heat during grueling eight-hour spacewalks. It features a massive network of medical-grade polyurethane tubes snaking across the body’s major muscle groups, circulating cold water to pull heat away to the suit’s portable life-support system. Recognizing that deep space leaves zero room for error, Axiom has incorporated a fully redundant backup cooling loop that instantly activates if the primary system ever encounters an issue.

Beyond thermal regulation, the suit pulls double duty by managing how astronauts breathe under heavy exertion. A parallel system delivers a steady, refreshing stream of pure oxygen directly across the astronaut’s face inside the helmet. This constant airflow acts as a sweep, continuously washing away exhaled carbon dioxide to prevent hazardous gas pockets from forming around the mouth and nose. The trapped gas is then seamlessly routed back into the life-support system’s chemical scrubbers to be filtered before the fresh oxygen is safely recirculated.

Prada’s multi-decade expertise in custom tailoring and engineered knitting completely alters the trajectory of aerospace design. By utilizing advanced 3D modeling and custom synthetic fiber blends, the Italian fashion house managed to weave a seamless, continuous, and moisture-wicking jumpsuit that drastically increases an astronaut’s range of motion while eliminating painful chafing. The complete, fully certified suit is on track for delivery to NASA by December 2026, with Prada actively aiming to market this tailored tech to commercial space outfits like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

10,000 Participants Celebrates Active Living & Cultural Heritage At MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day Terengganu

A vibrant morning unfolded at the iconic Drawbridge, Kuala Terengganu as the MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day 2026 continued its nationwide journey with its second stop in Terengganu, attracting approximately 10,000 participants for an energetic celebration of nutritious breakfasts, active living and community spirit.

The Mayor of Kuala Terengganu City Council (MBKT), Tuan Haji Lizan Bin Che Mat, said, “We truly appreciate MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day in bringing such a meaningful experience to the communities in Terengganu. It not only emphasises the importance of starting the day right with a balanced and nutritious breakfast with MILO®, but it also encourages the public to consistently engage in physical activities as part of their daily lifestyle. We believe this effort can contribute to their overall well-being while fostering a culture of healthy living within the community.”

The Director-General of the National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN), Mohd Amran bin Mohd Haris, said, “Long-standing community initiatives such as MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day reflect on-going efforts to unite the communities through meaningful and inclusive programmes. This initiative not only highlights the richness and cultural identity of Terengganu, but also encourages healthy and active lifestyles, while fostering unity and strengthening bonds within the community.”

In Terengganu, the experience is made even more distinctive as MILO® teams up with Temasya Budaya Terengganu to create a unique celebration that blends culture, arts and active living. Muhammad Yusuf Bin Azfi, 24, echoed, “This is our first time joining MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day together and we are excited to be part of an event that promotes healthy living alongside cultural and heritage elements. This experience feels especially meaningful as we get to run along the iconic Drawbridge in Terengganu while wearing cultural accessories that reflect local identity. It is a unique way to celebrate both active living and culture at the same time, making the event even more memorable for us.”

Besides a 3km fun run, the fun-filled breakfast movement came with vibrant activities such as fitness challenges, interactive booths and on-ground activities designed to promote family engagement and bonding while the iconic MILO® Truck also sparked nostalgic childhood memories among many participants.

Alan Liong, 45, came with his hiking buddies, one of them being a retired teacher, 75 years of age. “We started as strangers through a hiking group a few years ago and over time, it turned us into close friends. We are appreciative of a fun event such as MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day which we are joining for the second time now. At our age, it’s not just about fitness anymore, it’s about friendship, consistency and supporting each other in staying active. Next year, we’re even planning to climb Mount Kinabalu together, which shows how active lifestyles can tighten our friendships over the years.”

SOURCE: MILO MALAYSIA

Ericha Fitrih, 30, who brought her whole family to the event said, “This is actually our first time joining MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day as a whole family, from grandparents to parents, siblings and even my 19-month-old toddler. We wanted to do something different together instead of just staying at home. It’s not every day that three generations can share the same activity and today really made it special for us. The children enjoyed it, the older ones kept a comfortable pace and for us it’s really about creating memories and experiencing something healthy and fun together as a family.”

Following the successful kick-off in Sabah and second stop in Terengganu, MILO® Malaysia Breakfast Day 2026 will continue its nationwide journey to Kuantan (Pahang), Kelantan and Sarawak, before concluding with its grand finale in Putrajaya on 12th July 2026.

The World’s First T-Rex Leather Handbag May Fetch Over RM2.3 Million At Auction

What sounds like a plot straight out of Jurassic Park has become one of fashion’s most talked-about creations of 2026.

Scientists, bioengineers, and luxury designers have unveiled what is being described as the world’s first handbag made from lab-grown T-Rex leather — a one-of-a-kind accessory that blends prehistoric inspiration with cutting-edge biotechnology.

Enfin Levé (Instagram)

Developed through a collaboration between creative agency VML, biotechnology companies The Organoid Company and Lab-Grown Leather Ltd., the project aims to demonstrate how future luxury materials could be created without relying on traditional animal leather.

The first product made from the material is a luxury handbag created by avant-garde techwear label, Enfin Levé.

 

From Dinosaur Fossils to Designer Fashion

Enfin Levé (Instagram)

According to statements by Enfin Levé and Hôtel Drouot, the material was engineered using reconstructed collagen sequences derived from 66-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossils.

Scientists then used advanced computational biology and genetic engineering techniques to recreate the collagen structure before cultivating it into a leather-like material in a laboratory.

Unlike conventional leather production, the process does not involve raising or slaughtering animals. The creators say the resulting material is biodegradable, traceable, and designed to offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional luxury leathers.

 

A One-of-a-Kind Collector’s Piece

Enfin Levé (Instagram)

The deep teal bag features an angular silhouette, claw-inspired design details, sterling silver hardware, and black diamond accents, making it as much a statement piece as a scientific experiment.

The handbag was first unveiled at Amsterdam’s Art Zoo Museum, where it was displayed alongside a life-sized T-Rex exhibit before heading to auction.

 

The Future of Luxury Materials?

Enfin Levé (Instagram)

Whether viewed as a scientific breakthrough, a luxury collectible, or a clever marketing stunt, the T-Rex handbag has certainly captured the world’s attention.

With estimates suggesting the bag could fetch between €300,000 (RM1,405,980) and €500,000 (RM2,343,300) at auction at Hôtel Drouot, the project demonstrates how fashion and biotechnology are increasingly intersecting in unexpected ways.

More importantly, it raises intriguing questions about the future of sustainable materials—and whether tomorrow’s luxury goods could be inspired by creatures that walked the Earth millions of years ago.
